Bore size high D whistles
Hello.
I'm sort of in a bit of a pickle here.
I was looking around for something better than the Generation D whistle that I've been using for close to a decade now, preferably something tunable. And after looking a bit I found the Kerry Cobre high D.
It's a beautiful whistle with a great sound, but it has one problem for me. It is too damn loud.. I live in an apartment building, and that volume is simply too much.
I'm assuming this is due to the larger bore size. At least from what I can gather online the bore size seem to have an influence on volume. Namely, the larger the bore, the higher the volume.
So since I'm now going to have to return this whistle, I am looking at alternatives. Something in the intermediate range (price wise) and preferably tunable. And with a bore size a bit more similar to the Generation D whistle.
And here I've run into a problem. Because for some inexplicable reason it seems no tin whistle makers bother to list the bore size.
I could use some suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
And if anyone know of any place that lists bore sizes of whistles I'd love to see it.
I've been looking at the Killarney D whistle, but since they, like seemingly everyone else, don't list the bore size I don't know if I can actually use it.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: TL:DR: I'm basically looking for a somewhat narrow bore tin whistle in D. And would love some suggestions.
Sorry if my post was a bit rambly.
